Re: Monitor S2240T stuck as General PNP monitor in Windows 1

I have a new Dell 27" "gaming" monitor. I'm using the generic PNP drivers and everything works OK including the high 2560X1440 resolution. But I have to use HDMI2 or Display port on my PC (that I have) to get that resolution.

Re: Dell E2318H monitor driver vs Windows 10 generic PnP dri

a. With VGA, there is no PnP so it can't detect or need to use better driver.

b. With that (new) PC and monitor, you should not be using (analog) VGA. Even low resolutions you can reach are fuzzy compared to using a (newer) digital input .

I suggest DisplayPort if possible (DVI if DP not possible).

Re: Dell E2318H monitor driver vs Windows 10 generic PnP dri

Thanks for your replies. Getting the max resolution is not an issue. I did switch to the Dell driver for the E2318H monitor and still can use the max resolution of 1920x1080 with VGA. The problem I was really trying to resolve is that occasionally resizes all open windows to the same size and piles them over each other in the upper left of the screen. It's a pain to have to move them back and resize them. I think this happens if the monitor goes to power saving mode too quickly, and confuses the OS or drivers. I've read of others seeing this with various combinations of computers and monitors.

The Vostro 3670 only has VGA and HDMI, and the monitor has only VGA and DisplayPort. This is why I'm using VGA. From what I've read, computer HDMI to monitor DisplayPort requires an adapter/converter, and they seem rather pricey.
